Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Will NEVER step foot in the place again. Had a large event here a few weeks back where we had a tab that ran into several thousands of Euros, and settled the bill at the end of the night. When settling the bill I spotted...that a random BBQ area usage fee was added in which I had never been told about during the planning stage, and which I subsequently negotiated out. So I settled the bill, but forgot at the time that we had paid a €500 deposit, so €500 should have been wiped off the bill. The manager neglected to tell me at the time (I’m not sure if he knew or not at that point, as it was 2am. I realised afterwards and contacted him to say we had ultimately overpaid by €500. They won’t give us back the after weeks of trying. Do not trust these people for any event and overall stay clear. Shame as in theory it’s a great venue, but I’ll never step foot in the place again and have informed my entire network not to use it for any events, as they will try and rip you off.More

The building is very old and not particularly wheelchair friendly. I was a little worried that I was not going to be able to enjoy the night with my friends. The staff took out a metal ramp to get me into the building. It was...an adventure trying to get across the crowded bar to the bathroom. Once there I was pleasantly surprised at how spacious it was. The decor was quirky and colourful. It was a busy Friday night with lots of people in the bar, yet the seating we had booked felt so cosy. The service was fast and efficient. The food was so flavourful and the DJ had good tunes I enjoyed the colourful disco lights!!! From the staff member who met us at the door to guide us to the party, to the staff members who sorted out the ramp and the bar staff who brought us food and drinks, every single staff member was so friendly and helpful and really went out of their way to make this a memorable night. I am so thankful to you all and can’t wait to return :) ps To the manager of the odeon, I hope you are proud of your staff they really are a credit to you and they all deserve customer service awardsMore

We arrived at 19:45 but it wasn't until 22:00, nearly two and a half hours latter that our order finally arrived. The watering staff were nice, especially the guy at the bar who did get us complimentary drinks as an apology, and it wasn't their...fault obviously. They seemed very stressed and absolutely bewildered by the situation. There was clearly an issue in the kitchen as everyone else sitting near us was was waiting just as long. I wish however that there was more communication as we missed several buses home amd what should have been a nice evening, turned into quite the ordeal. By the time the food arrived, it was lukewarm, burnt and very greasy. Probably wouldn't go again. DavidMore

We booked the bar upstairs for a big celebration. Guests, aged from 12 to 95, came and went throughout the evening. There was singing alongside the grand piano, chatting, eating finger good, cups of tea and sandwiches and drinking and then dancing until 2.45am. Kelly...and Laura ensured the pre-planning was thorough and the team was well briefed on the night.The staff, including Marco, Chips, Luke, Pappi and floor and door staff couldn't have been more helpful in looking after us and their kindness and assistance to our guests of all ages and abilities was hugely appreciated. Thank you for helping us organise such a memorable gathering.More

I decided to celebrate my birthday at The Odeon because I've been there in a corporate event and I really like the place, the atmosphere is just amazing, staff are all very friendly, and to be honest, there is no better place in my opinion....I called to make a reservation and I spoke to Laura, she was so professional and easy going, just took my reservation with no hassle, even tho it was for 22 people, she asked me where I would like to be seated with my guests, she was just superb. On the the reservation date, I was running late, and I called the restaurant to inform that I would be 15-20 minutes late, the guy who picked the phone (can't remember his name) was very polite and confirmed that my reservation would be held, that gave me a peace of mind as I was afraid to miss my reservation. When I get in the venue, the host was waiting and asked my name and drove me to the space they reserved to me and it could not be better, space for everyone to seat... They allowed me to bring a cake as it was my birthday, when I was there, Trinity she just came up asking me if I would like to store the cake in the fridge as it would take a while to eat it, she was very very very polite and efficient, every 20 minutes or so, she walked my guests asking myself and them if everything was okay, if they needed anything else (She just went beyond) Around 9:30pm Trinity came asking me if I would like her to bring the cake and we agreed that she could do it at 10pm and at 10pm the cake was there, she also provided the right number of cutlery and napkin even no one asking her to do that, I have no words to thank not only her but all staffs whom made my birthday memorable, my guests loved the place, service and food. I wish I could give a thousand stars to the restaurant and it's staffs, I have absolutely nothing to complain about that moment on Saturday night, thanks all, thanks Trinity for making my birthday so special.More

Headed to Odeon for dinner on our last night and was very impressed! Dined between mon-thurs so got their midweek early bird menu which is really good value for money. We had the two course meal but shared the starter and dessert - the highlight...being the supreme chicken, really full of flavour and very well presented. They have a very affordable deal on selected cocktails which I took advantage of! Also our waitress on the night, Trinity, was extremely polite and very on the ball throughout. A lovely way to end our trip.More

My wife and I just arrived on a transatlantic flight from Miami yesterday afternoon, and rather than take a nap after we checked in to our cottage south of the city, we decided to take the Luas Green Line tram into the city to walk...around a bit. While the tram was picking up passengers at the Harcourt stop, I noticed The Odeon from the window and it's sign for an early-bird dinner and drink specials. It looked like a very nice place so I kept it in the back of my mind. We didn't get off the tram at the time, but later that afternoon as we were getting hungry (and more tired, lol) I remembered The Odeon, so we got off at that stop on our back to our residence, and what a great choice that turned out to be! As I noted in my title, the atmosphere inside is very nice, almost akin to a private club (especially since it was only 5:00pm and we were the first to arrive for happy hour and dinner). My wife and I both ordered the two-course prix fixe dinner for €22 and both courses were delicious as well as presented beautifully. I enjoyed two pints of Guinness (€11 total) while my wife ordered the Lana Turner cocktail for €6. I'm going to keep this review short as I'm still a bit jet-lagged and need to go out and get some coffee as I am writing this early the following morning from our very nice experience at The Odeon.More

After taking what seemed to be a lifetime to choose a venue to host my 50th Birthday celebration, I finally went with my gut instinct and chose this very stylish bar/pub. I was helped every step of the way by kelly, the events coordinator through...emails. Although Dublin was my birth city, I had left more than 30 years ago and was completely unfamiliar with the night life and so dealing long distance with Kelly was paramount to being able to carry off a celebration worth having. So, the night arrived and the venue was revealed to me for the first time. My first impression was that I was so excited with its theatrical decor, grandeur and opulence that it immediately lifted my spirits and so I knew it was going to be a great evening. I wasn’t wrong, the food was just perfect – the service from the floor staff was excellent and the music was tantalising, enough for us all to dance the night away. Easy to give a top recommendation if you have the chance to visit.More
